I don't get it. I see it mentioned on a blog or two (as just a title with a release date), but there's no information at all about it. I hope it's not just a port of IDAS4, because that would be a horrendous waste of the PS3's hardware.

well still better than another Need for Speed (especially if they're like Carbon or Pro Street)...i know ID4 is a mixed bag, but it's still better and more fun than most other arcade racers....and having a arcade perfect conversion plus some extra tracks wouldn't be bad for 70 bucks...

It would if they don't do any changes to the graphics engine, at least... I mean, come on; have you watched the wheelspin of the car in front of you during an online/instore battle? That's silly, and a limitation of the Lindbergh hardware that just plain isn't present in a PS3.

I don't mind if they port IDAS4 to PS3. But if they do, there better be some damn improvements! That's what I meant.

Its interesting that its not named like the previous installments. I hope its different to the arcade stage game. That should stay in the arcade where the 'arcadey' experience can be had. Almost no one has a setup like the arcades!

Well said, all the one that I have played well borrowed so to speak have sucked a**especially the one for the PC, I hope this one is a lot better.

Mountain Vengence: Not made by SEGA, was made in the US by Tokyopop, sucked and rightly so. Don't use this game to compare other games.

Initial D PSX: Come on, give it some slack, it was a PSX game after all.Initial D Special Stage: IDASv2 ported to PS2 with a few more cars and tracks. And a much longer story mode.Initial D Street Stage: IDASv3 ported to PSP. Never played it, wouldn't know if it added anything.

^ Street stage dropped one course Akina Snow, and the story mode was the same as the arcade. The tuning process was based on a card system as the arcade was based on points. Also you unlock BGM's, 2 videos and backgrounds for the loading screen via percentage(numbers of cards collected). Last it had Wi-Fi game play(never really used), all in all it was a good game.

I own Street stage, and i can tell you its about the same, just a little less detailed graphically, Bunta is easier and no Akina snow, which i really want now since i've been to all the courses down and uphill

Yes, I was hoping for a new Initial D installment for the PS3. I hope it would support Driving Force Pro. It might be the same release date as Midnight Club Los Angeles, which I'm getting as well. With Extreme Stage, I don't have to go to the arcades at the casinos to play Arcade Stage 4. The good thing is that I won't waste my money playing at the arcades and get surrounded by a bunch of Vegas kids playing Initial D Arcade Stage 4. The bad thing? Nothing. I just rather play at my house without paying.

It's probably too early for a big hooray until they give us screenshots.
